Re: [PATCH v3 2/2] dmabuf: Add dmabuf inode number to /proc/*/fdinfo

If a FD refers to a DMA buffer add the DMA buffer inode number to
/proc/<pid>/fdinfo/<FD> and /proc/<pid>/task/<tid>/fdindo/<FD>.

The dmabuf inode number allows userspace to uniquely identify the buffer
and avoids a dependency on /proc/<pid>/fd/* when accounting per-process
DMA buffer sizes.

BTW: Why do we make this DMA-buf specific? Couldn't we always print the inode number for all fds?

Christian.
